I believe All Pitching ratings, from all the coaches, effect pitching during a season as well as development of pitchers from season to season. Same with Hitting ratings or any other rating. The Hitting coach that has a measly 41 pitching rating is better than the hitting coach with a 9 pitching rating regarding your staff, providing his core rating, hitting, is the same. Others may not believe this, but it seems to be the case with the teams I have had.

Darrin Milton just when as a Type A FA in my world, which with his 73 OVR I think must indicate that the engine read him as a reliever. This makes me almost certain that P's with stamina under 50 are relievers and those over are starters..

As for the bullpen coach, I have no idea what that dude does and I can never decide what attributes to privilege. If somebody figures it out, please tell me.
